The Book Of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ

I remember the first time that I read the Book of Mormon cover to cover, and prayed to know that it was true. I was only sixteen at the time, and I loved studying the Book of Mormon, but I had actually never read it all the way through by myself. So I did, and it was a wonderful experience! As I finished the last verse, I knelt down and asked my Heavenly Father if it was true. As I knelt there praying, the Spirit testified to my mind and heart that the Book of Mormon is true.

After my experience, I can never deny that the Book of Mormon is true, that is was translated by the Prophet Joseph Smith through divine revelation from the Lord, that is was written for our day, that it testifies of our Savior Jesus Christ, or that it is evidence of our Heavenly Father’s love for us. It is true, and the testimony that I have of that grows deeper as I continue to study it’s pages.
